Doesn't Indonesia have beef with China in SCS? Nerf those ships before selling it to them.

yes, also you can see how big UVLS is .. in comparison to the lady .. definitely a lot bigger than MK41 VLS
The last pic shows a Z-8medevac which naturally cannot fit in the hangar of a 052D, I suspect based on the geometry of the hangar that was taken from a 903/A not a 052C/D (also observable from the info display on the side which details 903A functions)

you are afraid of Indonesia? anything they sell will be 052DE, don't worry about it. People, selling weapons to countries you want to gain influence is a great thing. It would be a major coup if China can get it done.
Interestingly, there is no mentioning of land-attack missiles in the section describing the VLS' weapons. We all know that if the PLA wants to fit the CJ-10 into the common VLS', it would be easy. However, we have not seen the PLAN launching anything similar to a Tomahawk from the VLS' of 055s or 052Ds. May I hypothesize that since non stealthy land attack cruise missiles are extremely vulnerable to interception, the PLAN may as well consider having a land attack variant of the YJ-21 instead, except such land attack hypersonic weapon could be classified and mixed with the anti-ship variant of YJ-21 for now (or that the YJ-21 has dual anti-ship, land-attack functions like the DF-26)?
